New Capitol Square Branch and Office for Old National

Madison, Wis. (January 3, 2018) – After more than two years of construction, Old National Bank (ONB) has opened their doors on a new bank branch and Wisconsin Corporate Offices on the Capitol Square. The newly renovated space is nearly 33,000 square feet, including the banking center on the street level, office suite on the second floor with a large outside space, and training and meeting room facilities on the lower level.

The spaces are part of the 25 West Main building renovations. Both the Wisconsin Headquarters for Old National and the Banking Center were located in the building for over 45 years. The Banking Center moved into a new space and the Wisconsin Headquarters moved to the second floor. The large outside patio has views of the lake and runs on two sides of the building. The Wisconsin Corporate offices are home to Commercial Banking, Treasury Management, Wealth Management, Consumer Lending, Retail Management, Marketing and Mortgage teams, totaling more than 80 staff.

The Banking Center utilizes a new concierge model of banking. In the concierge model, each representative in the Banking Center assists the client with their needs from start to finish rather than moving from teller to specialist to loan officer. There is an ATM on-site and computers for individuals who prefer to be self-directed. The branch has an open concept design that is intended to be more interactive and provide the technology experiences consumers seek.

“The ONB team is thrilled to make this investment in our vibrant downtown. New and better space, additional team members, and new services are all part of our growth plan here in Wisconsin,” said Len Devaisher, Wisconsin Region CEO.

A formal ribbon-cutting and public Open House will take place on Thursday, January 11th at the Banking Center. Open House hours are 9 am – 4:30 pm with the Ribbon Cutting at 1:15 pm. Normal business hours are now 9 am-5pm, Monday through Friday.
